My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

@leearft8605 6 месяцев назад

This video really helped define the kinds of things I've been exploring on my own. I particularly like the idea of staying in one hand position holding a chord and then playing a melody by just moving your fingers around the anchor point

@patrickblay7684 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Jens for making things simpler ,for me at least , to understand and use for concrete music. Theory is great as long as it is at the service of musical reality. Your videos are always full of knowledge. Thank you so much

@jdnepari 6 месяцев назад

Another clear lesson that you can put to use immediately. I've been doing this kind of thing a lot with blues progressions in particular, but without thinking much about the transitions I'm choosing. I just throw in random things to see what happens. Sometimes it sounds good but rarely do I end up with something structured enough that I can recall with any clarity how to repeat it. Since I have a pretty good chord vocabulary this lesson has given me a whole new perspective on how to use that knowledge in a much more effective way.

@dire12343 4 месяца назад

I’m 43 I started playing guitar at 14 I learned on my own but never learned what the actual concepts of styles.. I always used my fingers instead of a pick. At 24 I started learning classical and baroque.. I learned a lot over 5 years of learning modes theory from Northeastern University in Chicago.. but it only taught me a strict way of playing it right or not at alll.. I’ve been learning a lot from your channel as a guitarist I want to learn as much as I can.. You are def the best teacher on RU-vid…

Great video Jens! Im with you in the pre-dawn practice club. Love the exercise expanding on a grip to lots of variations. One thing i do to make practicing inversions more interesting and useful is to play them as 2 5 1s, or 1 6 2 5s, etc.

If I would only knew that such exercises are the ones that really develop you musically and let you play with other musicians I wouldnt spend all my time for "chop builders" that are not of practical vocabulary

@jamesbanks4073 Месяц назад

I find you to be very interesting and I also like everything that you do but I also want to let you know what I am doing is learning all my major scales and I'm doing that first before anything else I think that is the most important thing when it comes to a beginner guitarist it's learning all the major scales Would you be so kind to let me have your thoughts about that thank you 🤨🤔🤨?

@JensLarsen Месяц назад

Just learn the ones you need to play a song and don't spend all your practice time on scale practice.
